Evidentially it was revealed that the concentrations of some of these metals is above the limit permissible according to WHO 2008 while some is low, In further analysis, the anticipated health implication were considered by computing the chronic daily intake (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ, hazard index (HI) and carcinogenic risk (CR) of some of the metal to ascertain the threshold  level on the intake and make inference on the gross toxicological implications and carcinogenic risk likely to result from the continual intake of the metals into the body systems over a long period no matter how small and so inference is made on the health risk implication for the populace.</Abstract><CompanyAddress/><CompanyPhone/><CompanyFax/><CompanyEmail/></CoverPageProperties>
